Abstract
In this chapter, we will quickly implement a complete book inventory management system using the built-in scaffolding feature of Ruby on Rails. While implementing the system, we will write Ruby on Rails integration tests that exercise the whole book inventory management system from end to end. As we work through this sprint, we will show you how to map database relationships with ActiveRecord, including one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many relationships. Plus, you will learn how to implement file upload functionality with Rails. We’ll also introduce you to the Textile markup language, which can be used to author web content.
